Good news !
Well that can't be right. All the suck * liberals on this forum say the NRA is doing nothing.
To my recent memory they done nothing for Californians other than take the cash and spent it on nice things for themselves since clintons were in office. 25 years of do nothing for California and pay. Hey that sounds like folks on the government teat. Now only if we could get rid of newsome for a gun nut.
" Federal judge BLOCKS California's move to ban high-capacity ammunition"
I'm sorta guessin' the folks writing for The Daily Mail aren't really gun savvy.
Happy to report that a whole bunch of on line sellers are now shipping standard capacity magazines to California.

Will any GB sellers do the same?
That's odd,we had more gun rights before the NRA/ILA even existed.🤔
The District Attorney will appeal that decision to the 9th circuit court, which is packed with liberals. It will be overturned.

A bit of ol' TJ wisdom seems in order here....
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." --Thomas Jefferson
The conventional wisdom of jurist types is it wipes out 32310 in its entirety, not just the Prop 63 add on. The conclusion should be read as "32310, to include the Prop 63 revisions, is unconstitutional" rather than "Prop 63 revision of 32310 is unconstitutional". The reference to Prop 63 would be a subordinate conjunction, IIRC my college English class correctly.
Two points up for discussion thus far are whether local ordinances such as Sunnyvale and LA, SF are still in effect and a concern for the "public nuisance" law allowing PD to confiscate standard capacity magazines.
You are right there in the thick of it, so thank you for the clarification. The ruling was a victory, now it is a triumph which could lead to overturning magazine bans in other states.
Based on what I'm reading on the CalGuns site, come Monday there may not be a hi-cap magazine left for sale anywhere...California buyers appear to be snapping them up by the truckload.
While this may be short lived, because I believe the AG, CA legislature or 9th Circuit Court or all three will move to do something, a window has been opened by which it may be plausibly asserted that magazines for guns which didn't exist prior to 2000, can be said to have been acquired within the law. Assuming of course we're not required by court decision or the legislature to eventually turn them all in. There are also millions of magazines blocked to 10 rounds which could immediately be reverted to full capacity, but with a caveat.
The written decision instructs the AG to "suspend enforcement" rather than vacating the law. That's important because it means the laws may still in effect. Which could open up a whole can of worms regarding folks converting, buying on line. I'm not sufficiently versed in law to offer an opinion on that point. Will have to wait and see,
Well, that is a common way to misrepresent the folks on this forum for whom the NRA has fallen out of favor over the years. The correct version however is that the NRA (and the NRAILA in particular) does more harm than good. But I imagine since this drip onto the opposite side of the scale still does not outweigh the bad, your version is going to continue to be the mantra of the typical NRA sycophant.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
